Adafruit USB Type-C Male Breakout 5978
Discover the next generation of USB connections with our USB C Breakout Board! Throw away your old mini and micro USB cables - the USB C standard is here! You've probably seen this improved connector on many devices, as more and more manufacturers are switching from Micro USB or Lightning to USB C. What makes USB C so special? The plug is symmetrical and can be connected regardless of orientation. It also offers more data pins and higher power output capacity. Our breakout board gives you the basic equipment you need to get started right away. Easy connection: The board has a 5.1K Ohm resistor on the CC1 pin that signals the host to provide you with 5V and up to 1.5A. HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION The connector has a semi-continuous assembly which ensures a stable mechanical connection. Nevertheless, you should not bend it intentionally. Standard pin configuration: Simply connect VBUS to your 5V input, GND to ground and D+, and D as usual. Note: Unlike USB Type C sockets, the connector deliberately does not use both sets of D+/D/CC pins. This arrangement helps the host recognize how the cable is connected. Make sure the other socket side connects the data lines correctly.
